Built in web cam for Sony Vaio PCG-3E2L

Ok i have two problems...my drivers are said to work properly when i look in the device manager section under my control panel but i get a note that pops up every two sec saying USB Device not recognizable. Mind you there is nothing connected.

Shortly after...I used my built in web cam (motion eye) this morning..no problem and all of a sudden its saying a web cam is not found or is not working properly. I downloaded the web cam driver to the laptop and that didnt work either. Im all out of ideas. Can someone help. Its only 5 days old.

Hi,
Try this,
1. Check your Windows Device Manager and see if all hardware is recognized and installed
properly.
2. It might be that the hardware is recognized as a camera, but the right drivers are not
installed. The yellow explanation mark will indicate a problem.
3. In that case you can try to update the drivers. Right-click the device, and in the
popup menu select Update Driver Software. Then follow the instructions on screen, but
make sure you allow Windows to search the web for updated drivers.
If this works and helpful, please give a testimonial and vote by pressing button four thumbs up icon.

A quick short cut is to open a browser if you use Internet Explorer and select tools menu, then select Internet options. When the box opens then select the advanced tab and scroll down until you see a check box under security and check allow active content from CD to run on my computer.

If the drive is showing an error (or is missing) in device manager, do the following:Start Registry Editor (Start, Run and type in regedit then click O.K)Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.Quit Registry Editor.Hope this helps
